Russia, by evacuating Moldavia and Wallachia ? This would humble her in the eyes of the Janissaries. The fanaticism of these idle and seditious militia, who believe they see the pos sible re-introduction of European discipline, excites their hatred of the successes obtained by the Egyptian troops. The Janis saries dread the success of Ibrahim Pacha, lest he should oc cupy the Morea, and colonizing it with a Negro population, ren der that province the central point for organizing a military power which shall finally destroy the Janissaries. Murmurs are already heard in the Ortas of that hotly. The Ulemas, not less anarchical than the .Tanissarias, affect to call for " the good old times.whenthetrue Believers knew no weapons but the sernitar, and thefusil without the bayonet. Bayonets and drums—was " there ever seenso scandalousan innovation ! Theinfidels, with " their institutions, their exercise, and their uniforms, menace " the eternity of the Empire, and every thing threatens a change " in Religion."—Such are the arguments at the Mufti's, and At the gates of the Aga of the Janissaries ; and when the people begin to deliberate in Turkey, revolution in the Seraglio is not far distant. The Sultan, who knows what passes, strokes his beard, and asks his confidants, what course will Mehemet Pacha and kis son take, if, after beingvictorious, means cannot be found to get rid of them, can we enjoy the fruits of their conquest, with out dreading the consequences of their ambition The truth cannot be concealed; the East is menaced with dismemberment; the crisis is at hand ; Egypt will become an independent kingdom—it is, in fact, already such, and Mehe met Ali has but to demand the title. This barbarian Chief, in the excess of his vanity, already assumes the names of Alex ander, and Napoleon ll.—his design is to unite Crete with the Peloponnesus. By degrees he will extend his invasion to Attica and Thessaly. Salonica and Cassandra, where he was born, belong to him, and the Islands of the Egean arc at his devotion—thus is Mehemet Ali, established even in sight of the Dardanelles)! These are subjects of profound reflection at Constantinople,—but the die is cast, say the Turks, and " that sehish it written mutt happex." That which will happen with such a people, and under such a Government, may be prodicted without arrogating the gift of prophecy—within a quarter of a century, the Ottoman Government will be extinct In Europe, and even in some parts of Asia Minor ! We have received Lisbon Gazelles from the 4011) to 26th Dec. inclusive.

Hitherto no stoppages have taken places in this city : many houses, however, find it dim. cult to ner,ociate their drafts on England, particularly their long indirect bills on the country, though they are made payable in London. In point of fact, since the fall of the Exchange on the 21st instant, (which was eleven grotts Flemish, oe nearly three per cent.), the buyers of London paper will take nothing I:utiles/ rate two months, or quite short bills direct on London.

The number sick, this day, amounts to 6,800 in hospital. A few days sin.ce, a bath of 34 officers proceeded from hence to Calcutta. such is the state of destitution of some of our force, that the 28th regiment is at present under the command of a young Lieutenant, of the name of Robe. Two corps are entirely: annihilated. They were posted in what we call the " Valley of death." We are cantoned upon the top of the hills, in bungalows which we built ourselves, the rainy season having set in. We were sur prised that the Burmese did not attack us, until we had infor. matlon that they were waiting until we got worse ; then they will scalp and rip us up. We are told that we are to have an augmentation of twelve regiments—we need it."--(Hampshire Telegraph.)

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. VIE KING, &c. WINDSOR, JAN. B.—II is 11L AJESTr has since Wednesday last been obligA to forego his favourite exercise, in conse quence of the unfavourable state of the. weather, which has been excessively cold and damp. His Majesty continues to enjoy excellent health, and has during the last three days been most closely engaged with public business. )(ester. day forenoon, Count Munster arrived at the Royal Lodge, and had an audience of his Majesty in the afternoon.— At half-past one o'clock, Mr. Secretary Canning arrived, and had a long audience of his Majesty, when Count Munster and Mr. Canning severally took leave of his Majesty, and after partaking of some refreshment, left the Royal Lodge, his Excellency Count Munster for his residence in town, and Mr. Canning on a visit to the Earl of Liverpool, at his seat, Coombe Wood. In the afternoon, at the usual hour of seven o'clock, his Majesty honoured his distinguished attendants with his company to dinner. This forenoon his Majesty, with the whole of his householg attendants, heard Divine Service, a• the New Chapel Royal—the Rev.

WEEKLY CONCERTS.—The Concerts given by Signor DE BEONIS were resumed last night, and, having the assistance of SOLA, SCAR!, and Mr. and Mrs. PAGuAunisr, in addition to his own exertions, was a gratifying treat to his friends. The music was'well selected and well supported. The ingenious duet, cptupri4ing the noise of taw cats, in musical regulation, was repeated with success. It is a remarkable effort of genius, how.. ever ludicrous it may appear in mere description, and it would he churlish indeed to condemn so whimsical a conception, adroitly managed by the Composer, and executed by tho Performers. Miss flot..sT gave n solo on the harp with great taste and expression. The company expressed warm applause throughout. Mustc,-.At the commencement of the New Year, it is pleas ing to those persons, who are real lovers of Music, to look for ward to the different prospectuses and announcement of Con certs and Musical recreations promised to them during the en. suing season. Of the now old established ones, the ancient Concerts and the Philharmonic will take their course as usual. The City Concerts appear not likely to be revived this season, but in their room, and calculated to create the greatest interest, the Royal Academic Concerts will begin their first series.— We have taken much pains to inquire into the nature of the tooting upon which these Concerts are to be placed, anti' the results of our inquiries a7e in all respects entirely satisfactory. The admission of subscribers being regulated upon the same plan as at the ancient Concerts, the intrusion of improper per sons is guarded against, a precaution both wise and necessary. His Majesty is Patron, and the whole of the Royal Family; the Archbishop of York, the Directors of the Ancient Music, ana all the most distinguished of the Nobility are already upon the List of subscribers. The subscription for the series of Con certs is moderate; the tickets being personal, except that in families they may be transferred. The subscribers must' all, with the exception of the subscribers to the Royal Academy of Music, be recommended by a Director or a Member of the Committee of Management. With regard to the performances we may expect them to he unrivalled in every branch of music, when, for the instrumental department, we find that nearly the whole of the Professors composing the Ancient Concerts and Philharmonic Bands, are engaged, to which will be' added the strength of the Royal Academy, which, at this time, is ne mean assistance; with such an orchestra, and 'the vocal parts to be supported by Velluti Mrs. Bonin', Caradori, Messrs. Braharn, Sapio, Phillips, and all the other distinguished artists in this country, together with the pupils of the Academy, amongst whom is such talent as is displayed by Misses Wil kinson, Y. Marinoni, Watson, Bellehambers ; Alessra. Sapio, jun., Spagnolciti, Taylor, Plumer, &c. &c. we may fairly an ticipate a degree of excellence which has rarely been attained in any of the Concerts given for many years past in this country. With the advantage of 4lic selection of company which distins guished the ancient Concerts, the Royal Academy Concerts will, combine the variety of odern Music, and the laudable object for which they are established, the support of that Aca demy, which first in this country has offered a perfect musical education to our countrymen, at once of easy attainment, and at a comparatively small expenee. • We are therefore rejoiced to find that they have received the distinguished patronage anti support which they so richly deserve, and which, we doubt not, they will continue to meet with. HUNTING I N TELLIG ENCL. ROTAT. litlNT.—His Majesty's Stag Hounds met on Fri. day at Stoke Common, when they had another excellent day's sport.

KING'S Trtukrat.—This grand resort of the Fashionable W'orld opened for the season on Saturday night, and considering the severity of the weather and the absence of Parliament, was more numerously attended than is generally the case on a first night at this period. The Opera was BCrociato in Egitto, the music of which was so much admired last year. There were some changes in the representation in the principal characters, on account of the American expedi tion of the former Performers. Mademoiselle BONONI supplied the place of CARADORI in the part of Pahaide. Mademoiselle Bonoril is not in the bloom of youth, nor has she a very captivating person, but she is an agreeable though not a great singer. She is a pupil of VELLUTI, and displays in some degree the style of her master. As she cannot have estimated the effect of her voice, re lative to the extent of the area of this Theatre, we shall reserve our opinion till we hear more of her. She was well received. The other novelty of the night was Madame CORNEGA, who, however, is not unknown to the musical circles, though her first appearance on the stage was on this occasion, Her voice is flexible and not s ithout power. VELLUTI on his entrance was well received, as if to atone for the rough treatment which he expe rienced last year. lie sang with more effect than usual. CURIONI resumed his former chit.' racier in this excellent Opera, and the place of REMORINT 11 , 41 well supplied by PoaTo. Alto gether the Opera came off successfully, and the audience testified their approbation by repeated encores. The Ballet that followed the Opera is ettlitled Justine, ou La Cruche Cassee (The broken Pitcher), which according to an advertise ment from D'EGvtt.r.r, the Composer, was hastily got up, as the performers who are engaged for the Corps de Ballet have not yet arrived in this country. Considering that this was a sort of un avoidable stop-gap, it was rather treated harshly, but it will improve on repetition. In the coarse of the evening " God Save the King" was sung by BEGSTI and the other performers, and ap plauded with fervid loyalty. Mr. LAMBTON.—A report was very rife on Saturday that Mr. Limit To m. was dead, We have made the proper inquiries, and we believe the report to be untrue. Mr. LAMBTON, we can undertake to say, was quite well on Friday last; on which day he left Lambton-hull for York shire, intending to visit Lord DARLINGTON and Mr. M. TAYLOR before his arrival in town to. morrow. It is scarcely possible that any serious accident can in the interim have happened to this respectable gentleman without some notice of the calamity reaching kis friends in London ; and we can confidently state, that up to a late hour last night no tidings of any sinister event had arrived in Town.—(Titnes.) J. G. LAMBTON, Esq., M.P., passed through this city yesterday on hie way to the south. We regret to heal that the Hon. Member is about to proceed to France, on account of ill health, his medical advisers deeming change of climate necessary..-.-( Durham Advertiser, Jan. 6.) THE WEATHER.—SO intense was the frost last night that the milk people, on coming into town this morning, found a cost of ice on the tops of their pails. A pail of water standing in a stable where four horses are kept was frozen over. GIN.---By the market prices gin does not' ap pear to he reduced more than le. per gallon, but, as the imperial measure has increased the gallon in size about one-fifth, in effect the price is re• duce(' about 3s. 6d. per gallon. A SINGULAR RESTORATION OP PROPERTY.— A robbery took place a very short time ago in two house, adjoining each other, in Liverpool ; from one was taken a casket of jewels and other ornaments, which the owner, on wanting to use them, found were taken from the drawers, and the other contents strewed about the floor.— Search was made without effect. The other was robbed of four sovereigns, taken from a bureau, from a parcel of 84 sovereigns while the proprie tor was asleep in bed in the same room. Every search was made without discovering the perpe rator of the robbery. A few evenings after at well dressed young man knocked at the door, with the casket., as it was, the contents safe, and a note, stating it Was his first attempt, and begged that the affair might not be made public ;a similar note, with the four sovereigns were also left at the next door. Who the party is, or how the robbery was comm►tted, remains as yet undiscovered. Prince VICTOR METTER NICH, the Austrian Ambassador at the Court of France, (whose arrival in London we mentioned a taw days ago), has just had conferred upon him the dignity of Chamberlain (Kammerherr), by his Impe rial Majesty the emperor of Austria. Messrs. DEA CLAPCOTT, QUARTLEY, and Co. of the Christchurch, Wimbdurne, Poole, and Ringwood banks, resumed their payments on Saturday last. ALFRED CRANSTON, Esq. of Rowney; near Wycomb, we regret to state, was killed from the effects of his horse falling, when at full , speed, with the Luton Subscription Hounds, on Tuns ! . day last. lie received two factures ;4 his right leg, which together with inward bruises, caused his death °a Saturday morning.

On this day, in some parts of the country, especially ill the north, they draw the plough in procession to the doors of the villagers and towns people. Long ropes are attached to it, and thirty or forty men, stripped to their clean white shirts, but protected from the weather. by. waist coats, drag it along. Their shoulder and arms are decorated with gay-coloured ribbons, tied in large knots and bows,and their hats are N nu rtptwil in the same way.—Blomefield's history of Nar folk tends to clear the origin of the annual pro cessions on Plough Monday. Accidently a light, called the " plough tight," was maintained by old and young persons who were husbuotimen, before images in some churches, anti on Plotigh Monday they had a feast, and went about with plotigh and dancers to get money to support' the plough light. The Reformation put out these lights; but the practice of going about with the plough begging for money remains, and the " money for light" increases the income of the village ale. house. Let the sons of toil make glad their hearts with " Barley-wine ;" let them also re• irsember to be " merry and wise." Their old at, quainlance, " Sir John Barleycorn," has had heavy complaints against him. There is " The ar., raiguing and indicting of Sir John Barleycorn; Kitt. printed for Timothy Tossputt." Thii whimsical Utile tract describes him as of " noble blood,. well-heloved in England, a great sUpport to the -Crown, and a maintainer of both rich and poor." The tract formally places him upon his trial, at the sign of the Three Loggerheads, before" Oliver and Old Nick Isis Holy father," as Judges. The witnesses for the prosecution were cited usuler the bands and seal►• of the said Judges, sitting 4 ' at the sign of the Three Merry Companions its Bed- • lam ; that is to say, poor Robin, Merry Torn, and Jack Lackwit." At the trial, the prisoner, Sir John Barleycorn pleaded Not Guilty.—[Thert follows a long and homourouc acco u nt o f the pro. . . gresa of the trial, closing with the verdict of'" Nat GUilty " —it being added, that " from Otis face tious little Narrative may be learned the folly of ~ xcess, and the injustice of charging a cheering beverage, with the evil consequences of a insa taking a cup more of it than will do him good.")
